Chapter 19 The generals arrive at the airport and are eye-opening

Zhang Zhimu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't let me be idle for a moment!" Answering the phone, "Hello Emperor!" ”

"Oops! Zhang Dongjia, it's not easy to get through to your phone! Emperor Chongzhen was obviously a little dissatisfied, and there was something wrong with his words.

"Oh! Don't be angry, Your Majesty, in the past few days, we have taken advantage of the fact that the representatives of the army have come back for a meeting, and we have then held a military meeting. I told them that this meeting was important and that we should not be disturbed. Our meetings are also closed, and no phone calls are allowed in the venue! Zhang Zhimu patiently explained.

Listening to Zhang Zhimu's patient explanation, no matter what the reason, Emperor Chongzhen's anger has already been smooth. What he was dissatisfied with was that he was not allowed to participate in such a meeting, but he couldn't say it, and he couldn't get through to Zhang Zhimu's phone, so he felt that he was not taken seriously and felt angry. Hearing Zhang Zhimu's very polite and patient explanation, the fire was extinguished, "Oh! That's right! All the military things are arranged? ”

"It's all set! That way, I don't have to worry about it. At the people's congress, we can only talk about some big goals, and we still need to hold a meeting to study how to do it. Let the command center take care of the rest! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Yes! The generals of the kiln gang can be on their own! Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said.

"In fact, several great generals were cultivated by the original imperial court. Like Zhou Yuji, Jiang Jian, Ning De, and Wu Sangui are all original generals! Zhang Zhimu said a little flatteringly.

"Huh! Only this Wu Sangui still knows to come and see me, those things haven't taken me seriously for a long time! Emperor Chongzhen said indignantly.

"Oops! Your Majesty, you blame me for this! Zhang Zhimu said, "Ning De, Jiang Ping, Li Kui, and Sun Chuanting rushed back to the west after the meeting. The Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire to the west are already at war, and they don't have time to say goodbye to you, so they asked me to say hello to the emperor before leaving, and the gifts they brought back to you are still with me! Don't blame them, Your Majesty! ”

"Oh! War on the west again? Emperor Chongzhen said, "The war is important, I don't blame them!" However, Emperor Chongzhen is still skeptical of what Zhang Zhimu said later, but whether it is true or not, Zhang Zhimu's words are enough!

"The war between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire on the Western Front is an opportunity for us, and when they are almost finished, we will separate them in one fell swoop and in the name of it, and at the same time occupy the area between the Caspian and Black Seas. In that case, our next goal is to stabilize the borders. Strive to finish the battle on the Western Front within a year or two. In that case, we will be able to go all out to engage in economic construction! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Good! If only it could be like this! Emperor Chongzhen shouted and said, "However, whoever we cut is also distressed, and the Xiyi people will not give up, right?" ”

"They are not afraid of whether they do it or not, and from the perspective of military strength, they are not our opponents together. As long as we don't have civil strife, no one can help us. Besides, now that we're done fighting, we can use our economic and political power to influence them constantly. In peacetime, we have peacetime copies! In short, we can continue to exert influence on them by all means, and the students we train in the language institute should also play a role. ”

"Good! You think the problem is the long-term! By the way, after the officials of our Siyi Pavilion arrived at the kiln gang, you arranged it very well, and some of them not only had their own formal jobs, but also taught students part-time in the language college. I met them and they were all very satisfied! It's just right to do your best! Hehe! The emperor smiled happily when he said this.

Yang Yulin muttered in a low voice next to her: "It's a phone call, and it's not over talking!" ”

Zhang Zhimu glared at Yang Yulin, and said into the microphone: "Your Majesty, those people in the Siyi Pavilion are all precious talents!" In the future, we will have a lot of contacts with other countries. I also arranged for them to compile a comparative dictionary of the various Chinese languages and our Chinese, which was a lot of work, but we also had to finish it. I'm going to send people to their work and give them strength! ”

"Good! This is a great event for a thousand years! Emperor Chongzhen said approvingly, "That's right! You see it's not over, I've been looking for you, our Yellow River Bridge over there in Baotou will be opened to traffic soon, you can go with me to have a lively time with this ceremony! It's not to wait for you, we'll leave long ago! ”

"Oops!" Zhang Zhimu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I won't go!" We just finished the meeting, and there are still a lot of things that need to be implemented. To be honest, I'm a little tired when I can drive! There's a lot going on this year! The Lanzhou Yellow River Bridge can also be opened to traffic this year, and the Kaifeng Yellow River Bridge can also be opened to traffic before the end of the year. Also, the first-level reservoir on the Jialing River can also be delivered, and the ceremony is enough for you to be busy! I think so, when the Lanzhou Bridge is opened to traffic, I will accompany the emperor to go, and we can also go west to Jiayuguan to see the border soldiers! ”

"Good! Just get some rest! Don't get too tired! Emperor Chongzhen said, "Let's talk, when the Lanzhou Bridge is opened to traffic, let's go together!" And the Jialing River, we also want to go together! ”

"Good!" Zhang Zhimu said, "The matter on the other side of the Jialing River, let's leave early, the emperor will bring the queen mother, I will also bring my family, we will take a boat, from the Yellow River into the canal to the Yangtze River, into the Han River and go straight to the Jialing River, we will follow the Jialing River and then enter the Yangtze River and then come back." Otherwise, we can take the train to Tianshui, then cross the Qinling Mountains by car, and then take a boat to Hanzhong. The emperor chooses a route! ”

"Huh! It's still early, but let's go together! "Emperor Chongzhen is already in a good mood, and he is particularly interested in participating in the ceremony.

As soon as she put down the phone, Yang Yulin came over and said, "How is it, you coaxed the emperor again?" ”

"What words? When did I coax the emperor, and did I coax it again? Zhang Zhimu said, touching Yang Yulin's plump chest.

Yang Yulin reached out and pinched Zhang Zhimu, but Zhang Zhimu felt that the pinching was not strong enough. In fact, Yang Yulin wanted not to let Zhang Zhimu touch it, but Zhang Zhimu couldn't touch it at all. Zhang Zhimu hugged Yang Yulin easily, Yang Yulin lay on Zhang Zhimu's body, and whispered: "Sleep with me today, right?" ”

"What are you doing there?" Zhang Zhimu asked with a wicked smile on his face.

"Huh!" Yang Yulin was also amused, and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

"I don't know!"

"Hey!" Yang Yulin suddenly asked, "The meeting said that after the establishment of a new country, monogamy will be implemented, so what should we do?" ”

"It's fixed!"

"Oops!" Zhang Zhimu felt a sharp pain in his arm, Yang Yulin was not polite about such a thing.

"Oops! Are you so ruthless? Zhang Zhimu said, "Monogamy is a matter of the future, can you really divorce all those who already have?" When the time comes, I won't do it without you! ”

"If you really keep one, who are you keeping?" Yang Yulin's question is actually still the same old question, but the original question is, "The three of me, who do you like the most?" ”

Answering such a question, Zhang Zhimu is also very experienced, "Of course I will keep you!" As he used to answer, "I like you the most!" ”

Yang Yulin didn't know Zhang Zhimu's routine, but like all women, she was willing to listen to such an answer!

"Hey! I almost forgot, after you and Xiao Hongyu left, Li Yunhe called again! ”

"Hmmm! Li Yunhe: The plane over there should have some effect! Zhang Zhimu said, "There are still a few generals who haven't left, I'll take them tomorrow to see Li Yunhe's plane!" ”

"I'll have you a look tomorrow!" Yang Yulin said.

"Good! I'll take you tomorrow if I'm obedient! ”

"How else can you be obedient!"

(Not suitable for children!) ）

Several generals who have not left Yaogang heard that they had to go to the airport without exception to see the newly developed aircraft. The next day, a long convoy set off from Yaogang and headed straight for the airport. Zhang Zhimu specially invited Liu Chenghuang to sit in a car with him.

As soon as the car moved, Liu Chenghuang said: "Mr. Zhang, I will go back to Nanyang, arrange things and come back to take over the affairs of the Air Force immediately." I have already met General Li Wei several times about this. The foundation of the Air Force is already in place, and General Li has spent a lot of effort on it. Pilots have been trained in several shifts, and a new batch of pilots is recruited every year. ”

"Hmmm! As an independent branch of the military, the role of the Air Force will become bigger and bigger in the future, and it can even determine the outcome of the war, which is why we are ready to transfer you back. Regarding the Air Force, both Uncle Chen and Mr. Ouyang are particularly concerned, and this matter is not trivial. When you come back, you will set up a special air force academy to train not only pilots but also aviation personnel. You will also take over the factories that produce aviation equipment! In short, in a word, as long as it is a matter of heaven, you have to take care of it. In this way, Li Yunhe can also spare energy to take care of something else. ”

"Hey, I don't understand anything about production, let's let Li Yunhe help take care of it!" Liu Chenghuang said a little nervously.

"You didn't understand it when you were born! Li Yunhe can't let go completely, but he can free up a little energy! Zhang Zhimu said.

Originally, Li Yunhe and the others were going to test fly an airplane with a turbocharged engine today, and they wanted to invite Zhang Zhimu to participate, but they didn't expect a team to come.

As soon as the convoy stopped, Zhang Zhimu, Yang Yulin, and Liu Chenghuang got off, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He also got off, followed by Li Wei and Li Jing, and then Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Liu Zongmin, as well as Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang, Fan Chengkun, Wu Sangui, Zhou Yuji, Fan Song, and Liu Jun. Today is the time when the most senior generals come from Yaogang Airport.

Li Yunhe greeted him and immediately wanted to arrange for someone to go into the building to rest.

Zhang Zhimu said to Li Yunhe: "Everyone is not here to rest, all the planes that can fly today will be flown for everyone once, let everyone see!" Just run to the side and set up some chairs! ”

Chairs began to be set up here, and many of the people who came to visit there saw the plane for the first time, and immediately surrounded a single-seater and a two-seater plane at the airport.

Here, Li Yunhe said to Zhang Zhimu: "Why didn't you say so many people first?" ”

"Whatever you say, you don't have to worry about it here. Let's just take a look! Zhang Zhimu replied, "You can do whatever you want, and do what you want!" ”

Li Yunhe said: "We added a turbocharging device to the engine according to what you said, and after nearly a month of testing, the original engine power can be increased by about 30 percent. Now that it has been installed on the aircraft, the ground commissioning has been completed, and today I want you to come and see the test flight. ”

"How's that torque shift propeller?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"It's been produced, it's being tested at home, and it's going to be installed on airplanes soon. After the engine is tested, you can test the propeller. They say that this propeller must be much more efficient! "It's only been a month, why are you so fast?"

"Oops! Many of us don't go home once a month, it's the next drawing, and the parts are machined right away. Once the equipment is assembled, the testing starts immediately! Don't you see that many of them have red eyes? Li Yunhe said.

"Hey! We must do a good job in food for everyone, breakfast and milk must be guaranteed. "Zhang Zhimu knows that if he wants to persuade everyone not to work so hard, it is too fake. It is simply impossible for these people to listen. Zhang Zhimu knows that this is such a spirit and the most creative. Each of them knows that they are doing something that their predecessors have not done before, there is nothing to refer to, everything needs to be figured out by themselves, so there is no frame in their thinking, and the ideas for solving problems are simple and practical.

Seeing that everyone had seen the plane almost, Li Yunhe invited everyone to sit down on the chairs that had been set up, and then said to everyone: "You can see that the plane in front of us is the plane that installed and debugged the new engine yesterday. The plane is about to take a test flight. ”

After the pilot pulled the cockpit cover up, the mechanic followed the ladder to the ground, took the ladder away, and a machine was in front of the plane, moving the propeller hard, the aircraft engine, "boom", a puff of smoke, "boom" started, Zhang Zhimu heard that the sound of the engine was a little different from the original.

As soon as the pilot of the plane let go of the brake, the plane drove lightly towards the runway, and then suddenly accelerated and ran forward along the runway, Zhang Zhimu obviously felt that the plane was much lighter. Soon the plane left the runway, followed by a steep climb. It seems that the pilots are very confident about the engine power. After takeoff, the plane rolls, dives, climbs, and other actions in the sky, and everyone who looks at it can't sit still and stand up to watch. It is estimated that Li Yunhe arranged for the pilot to give a performance for everyone, and it would not be like this in ordinary test flights. Just fly out of the subjects that need to be tested.

However, Zhang Zhimu saw the flexible and light aircraft flying up and down, and understood that this was a very successful aircraft with a bright future in the future.

Then, the two-seater plane also went to the sky to perform for everyone.

Everyone in the room kept saying, "Enjoyable! ”

Zhou Yuji also introduced to everyone on the spot that the plane was chasing the Mongolian cavalry on the grassland, and what he said was also impressive. However, Zhou Yuji said again: "Everyone, you know, it is still our old and stupid plane. If we had used an aircraft like ours to fight today, the battle would have been even worse. ”

Li Zicheng asked Li Yunhe: "How many can you take with your current plane?" ”

Li Yunhe said: "The small one, without the auxiliary fuel tank, can bring four. You can only bring one of the extra big ones! ”

"Good boy! The ** on the plane is much larger than the 203 shells on the warship! Zheng Zhilong said.

"Mr. Zhang, can this plane fly to Australia?" Liu Zongmin asked that he already wanted to use the plane in Australia.

"I can't fly to Australia yet!" Zhang Zhimu said, "It can be shipped to Australia by ship." However, we now have a team working on a twin-engine aircraft. It is an airplane with two engines on its wings. That kind of aircraft may not be as flexible as the current aircraft, but it has a long range. Maybe in a few years, you can fly to Australia in stages! In the future, we will travel from Australia to Yaogang, and one day we will take a plane. General Kwon don't worry! ”

"Haha!" Everyone laughed.

"Hey! Mr. Zhang, how many people can be seated on the plane with two engines on the wings? Zhang Xianzhong asked very seriously.

"We're expecting a dozen!" Zhang Zhimu said, "When the time comes, we will see how much the power of our engine can be increased!" ”

Wu Sangui asked: "If you use that kind of plane, can you install a lot of **?" ”

Everyone was very interested in Wu Sangui's question, and they were all waiting for Zhang Zhimu to answer, Zhang Zhimu smiled and said, "General Wu is still extremely sensitive!" Of course, an airplane that can carry that many people can carry a lot**. We can use a double-engine aircraft, a specially made aircraft that carries the highest aircraft, which is called a bomber. Such an aircraft, filled with ** to the enemy's head, will automatically throw the ** cabin into the enemy as soon as it is opened. Let's think about what it would be like to have dozens of heavy ** and fall into the enemy's position at the same time? ”

These people have come out of the battlefield, and of course they know what that means.

After being cold for a while, Song Xiance said with a smile: "In the future, with General Liu's air force to help in the war, our battle will be better fought." ”

"Oops! At that time, what did you have to fight, go to a few planes and you're done! Li Zicheng said, "Mr. Zhang, we want to produce more aircraft as soon as possible." If this thing goes to war, we can kill a lot less. ”

Fan Chengkun asked: "Mr. Zhang, you said that we will produce aircraft that can take off from the water in the future, when will we be able to produce this kind of aircraft?" ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that the commanders of the navy army were of course concerned about their own affairs.

"Huh!" Zhang Zhimu smiled with everyone and said, "Commander Fan doesn't need to worry, when Li Yunhe and their current aircraft are developed, they will immediately send people to study water flying." It is not only necessary to study the aircraft that take off and land on the water. In the future, we will produce bigger ships, build airstrips on the ships, and let the planes take off and land on the ships. ”

Zhang Zhimu's words caused a lot of discussion, and Fan Chengkun asked: "How big a ship do you need to build?" The 25,000-ton ship we are building now is like a mountain? ”

"It's going to take two things, one is to build the shortest possible take-off plane, and we need to build bigger ships. Of course, it is also necessary to solve a lot of auxiliary facilities for aircraft to take off and land on the ship. This is a matter for future research. Zhang Zhimu knew that it was useless to talk too much now, and it was too hard.

However, Zhang Zhimu knew that the purpose of broadening the horizons of these generals today had been achieved.
